March 26, 2020: Make a pizza
As you can't take your kids to the restaurant to enjoy their favorite pizza, let them make homemade pizzas so that the kids can be proud of making their own dinner.
We often buy playdough from stores for the kids but did you know you can make playdough from everyday ingredients found in your kitchen cupboards? If you need a recipe, check out this one from I Heart Naptime. All you need are quart-sized bags, all-purpose flour, salt, cream of tartar, water, veggie or coconut oil, and food coloring.
Making sticker books are super fun for kids. The reusable sticker book allows them to remove the stickers easily so they can play with them over and over. Looking for the perfect way to store all those stickers for your Happy Planner, check out ginger snap crafts for the tutorial.
